Default Cam only setup

Hello friends, ready to do another mod to my car, and I'm wondering what I will pick up both HP wise and 1/4 mile wise.

Mods:
3600 stall
Headers
LS6 intake
TSP true duals
Lid
KYB adjustable shocks with eibach drag springs
random free mods (FRA, coolant bypass)
Tune

Tuned, the car put 330 hp, 340 tq in our 95ish degree weather (just before summer really starts).

Before the tune, I ran a 12.9 with a 2.1 60 ft. on street tires (the tune picked up 10 hp, 10 tq).

I plan on adding a 228R cam 112 LSA (new oil pump, timing chain, valve springs, etc. too)

What should it put down and run with some Mickey Thompson drag radials? Previously, this car has cut 1.75 60 fts. on Nittos, so I know I have my suspension setup how I want it. Down here at Firebird raceway, track prep is usually good.

I'm not sure what my raceweight is, but I took out spare tire/jack as well as the rear seats. I normally race with 1/4 tank of gas, and I myself weigh in at 220 lbs.
